With the TUF 8 Finale coming on tonight at 9 PM EST on Spike Tv, the network decided to do a marathon of the 8th season today and I got to see the fighter’s progress over the last several weeks. The pranks I have to admit we’re some of the best one’s on any season as a whole. But I digress, tonight is not about pranks but the next possible UFC star.
We’ll only be making Main Card predictions which are as below:
Phillipe Nover (155) vs. Efrain Escudero (156) – Phillipe Nover – Unanimous Decision for Phillipe Nover
Ryan Bader (205) vs. Vinicius Magalhães (205) – Vinicius Magalhaes by Submission Roune 3
Wilson Gouveia* (189) vs. Jason MacDonald (184) – Jason MacDonald by Submission Round 3
Kevin Burns (171) vs. Anthony Johnson (171) – Anthony Johnson by KO Round 3
Junie Browning (156) vs. Dave Kaplan (156) – Junie Browning by KO Round 2
I also wanted throw out my thoughts about two fighters on this main card. Vinicius Magalhaes is just ridiculous at his ground game and will be a force to reckon with at 205 and could very well cause problems for all fighters in this weight class.
Also Junie Browning with some guidance and training will have what it takes to be the next top Lightweight in the UFC. He has the heart and experience just a little hot headed at times and let’s things get to him that he needs to just let go.
